Andrew Ross Sorkin wears many hats. While he's perhaps most recognizable for his role as co-anchor on CNBC'S "The 46-year-old journalist and New York native got his start as an intern at Inside Edition before interning at The New York Times in 1995 — all while still in high school. Sorkin went on to graduate from Cornell University, contributing stories to the Times throughout his college career.
His book, "Too Big to Fail: How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System — and Themselves," was published in 2009, and two years later, was adapted into an 11-time Emmy nominated TV movie, which he co-produced. These roles all differ substantially, but three key attributes help Sorkin excel in them: persistence, listening and understanding.
"Persistence matters more than talent, hands down," he says. "Listening is a skill that needs to be practiced with intent. And if you want to understand somebody, or persuade them of your view, you need to meet them where they are and understand their view first."But Sorkin says he learned the "most important" lesson from the 2015 film "Bridge of Spies.
"Sometimes it would help. Oftentimes it will help. Sometimes even just sort of walking through the permutations of stuff will help. But a lot of the time, it won't help at all."
